Hi Everyone, Liz here (+1 662 830 8246, info@nakedactives.com)

Have you wondered what are the Benefits and Uses of Squalane oil?

Squalane oil is a saturated by product of squalene oil, a polyunsaturated hydrocarbon. The human body produces squalene naturally by the sebaceous glands , which is why its derivative, squalane, is such an excellent moisturizer for the hair, skin and nails as our bodies know what to do with it when it is applied to our skin. Produced by our own skin cells, Squalane oil is also found in olives, sugarcane, wheat germ, rice bran, palm trees, and shark liver.

Like many other beautifying  components  naturally produced by the body, as we age, our body’s natural production of squalene begins to decline. Which is why science is now encouraging the use of squalane oil as a potent anti-aging moisturizer. Among its many benefits are that it is an incredible antioxidant, detoxifies, hydrates and possesses skin softening and smoothing qualities. When choosing this special oil or a product that contains it as an active ingredient, it is essential to be sure you are buying squalane oil, which is created from hydrogenated squalene oil. If squalene oil is not hydrogenated, it will oxidize very fast once it is introduced to air and will become rancid, eliminating its benefits for the skin.

Squalane oil has excellent emollient properties that keep your skin hydrated and well moisturized.  as it is easily absorbed and prevents water loss from the skin. One of the reasons it makes for such an effective moisturizer is that our skin recognizes it instantly, since it's a a substance that our bodies naturally produce., so this oil absorbs into even the deepest parts of our skin quickly and easily.

Squalane oil also has a number of other skincare and beauty benefits as it can also increase the luminosity and vibrancy of skin, lessen the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and even help reduce redness and inflammation. Squalane oil actually helps to repair the barrier of your skin, so when you put it on, you're not only preventing water loss, you're also helping to protect the skin from harsh particles in the environment. In addition to these hydrating and anti-aging benefits, squalene has natural antioxidant properties that have been found to fight free radical damage in skin

What type of skin is squalane oil best for?

Squalane has become a favorite for those who want to hydrate and prevent any future loss of moisture. What’s even more amazing about it? It’s safe and beneficial to all types of skin — even if you have sensitive skin or are prone to acne. Due to its powerful moisturizing and soothing abilities, many dermatologists recommend squalene oil to be particularly useful for soothing dry skin and inflamed skin conditions such as eczema. But one of the great things about squalane oil is that it is not a common irritant or allergen, so even the most sensitive skin is unlikely to react to it. While most oils clog pores, squalane is one of the few that may be used even on acne-prone skin. Squalane oil is thus recommended for all skin types, even oily skin, noting that it's lightweight and non-greasy, so it's unlikely to clog pores or lead to breakouts. "Even if you have oily skin it's important to still try to nourish your skin with healthy oils," she says.

You can also use squalane oil on your hair and nails to reap the same hydrating effects. To leave your hair softer and shinier, apply several drops of squalane oil to your scalp. Massage it into your scalp and then comb through so that you get it to your ends. As for your fingernails, dabbing a few small drops of squalane oil into your cuticles will ensure you get the hydrating benefits, especially if you have dry, damaged nails.

What's the best way to use squalane oil and its uses?

Use on a cleaned skin in the morning and evening by adding a thin layer on your face, neck, chest, hair or nails when needed as follows:

• FACE: Gently pat on a small amount to moisturize skin, use as after sun soother, as shave oil and soothing post-shave or apply as lip moisture and lip color primer .
• BODY: Massage into skin after showering, paying extra attention to dry areas, use as cuticle and nail moisturizer, smoothing foot moisturizer or to get skin glowing.
• HAIR: Smooth sparingly through dry or wet hair to tame flyaways, split ends and frizz., create the perfect sleek ponytail or make a hair moisture mask.
